Commentary

[The material found in this tomb included a lamp with the stamp Auf. Fron. while in a neighbouring tomb were others with the stamps of Iunius Alexis Oppius. Assuming Oppius to be C. Oppius Restitutus, all three makers were producing largely in the last third of the first century CE and into the second century (information from D. Bailey of the British Museum).]

b: probably the date of death by a regnal year: If the number is correctly read, it would give year 70, presumably the date by the Actian era = CE 49/50, which is a little early for the tomb material.
